The frame _ _ E _ I _ _ has far more room than the neighboring short patterns: 421 words fit, and 39 are common by the frequency measure. Familiar examples range from SPECIAL and SPECIES to MEETING, FEELING and EVENING. Many are verb forms ending in -ING, which makes the final G a useful first pass through a large rack search.

A quick read of the pattern

  • There are 421 matches; 334 have definitions.
  • P is the leading first letter, with 68 words.
  • G ends 132 entries, ahead of S at 92 and E at 64.
  • FEEZING, HEEZING, ZOECIUM and PREJINK each score 20.

Seven-letter words with E third and I fifth patterns

Start with the shape of familiar words: SPECIAL, SPECIES, PRECISE and PREMIER place E third and I fifth. For a quick filter, test G at the end; 132 matches close that way. S is next with 92, then E with 64, so a known final letter trims the search substantially.

The top score is shared by FEEZING, HEEZING, ZOECIUM and PREJINK at 20 points each. The best-known options are not necessarily the scoring leaders: MEETING and FEELING make the pattern easy to see, while the high-value entries need more careful dictionary recall.

A useful second pass is to sort by first letter. P leads with 68 entries, followed by S at 42 and C at 39; those are substantial groups within the 421-word pool. The familiar PREMIER and PREMIUM show one route through P, while SEEKING and SPECIFY demonstrate why the same fixed positions support very different endings.

Among the top examples, the pattern appears in both nouns and verb forms. Count the letters before committing: MEETING has E in slot three and I in slot five, as does SPECIAL.

A practical board check

Tip

When G is already on the board, sort through the 132 G-ending options first; OPENING, MEETING, FEELING and KEEPING show the productive -ING family.
